Brief description Many Indigenous children experience poor growth and development. The proposed project will address this problem by introducing and testing system changes to create healthy living environments. The system changes will aim to tackle concurrently a number of the key underlying causes of poor child health through improving housing conditions and reducing environmental contamination.
